Not bad
Managed 54.4 mpg in my 520d on a couple of hundred mile trip to St Ives last year - averaging 42 mpg with a heavy right foot in 5er and hope for everyday average of 35 ish from the X3

I've done about 900 miles in mine. Mixture of country roads , town driving and dual carriageway and so far averaging 38mpg. Best I've seen so far on a 25 mile trip was 44mpg
Very impressed with the economy and I'm not really trying . Amazing given the size of the x3. |

Any little niggles after 900 miles of driving? Saw a space grey for the first time in my local dealer yesterday and liked it a lot.

No, nothing. If anything I'm liking more and more every day.
It really is an amazing car. Space, comfort, high driving position, economical and was great during the snow (fitted with Dunlop winter tyres) |

Just had an X3 xDrive 2.0d auto for a test drive over the weekend. Had the car delivered in Slough but drove home to Leeds, so a good 200 mile+ journey. Slightly disappointed in the mpg over this long motorway drive - it managed just shy of 43mpg. My current Audi A5 1.8TFSI can do this so I was expecting more from a diesel. The demo car had all the toys on so I'm hoping these were a contributing factor (weight/power draw).
Still, the car drove fantastically, particularly as it peed it down. The X3 was far more stable than anything I've ever driven before. In the A5 I'd be terrified (literally) by puddles in the second overtaking lane but the X3 just smashed straight through them. What has impressed me has been the around town mpg. I got about 38mpg on short journeys which is remarkable ... the A5 would get about 27-28mpg on the same trips. The auto box on the X3 is superlative. I used to have an A3 with DSG which I thought was incredible but the new BMW auto box puts DSG to shame. I just wish there were "flappy paddles" on the steering wheel. |

I agree, 38mpg on short journeys is very good. Also enjoyed your description of smashing through puddles!

My MPG is going DOWN week by week , no faults showing weather improving MPG gone from 40MPG down too 33 MPG total sh*t.
It goes in next week if it does not improve it's out. All my driving is Out of town and minimum 25 miles +. This really is crap.

I don't care. I bought it to enjoy the engine/car. If I could have had the 35i in the UK I would! btw, got 15mpg on the same journeys in a F30 N20 328i loaner. Was shocked by that.

45mpg or 6.3l/100km real consumption not the OBC I guess I drive moderately but when I'm in a real hurry or inspired the difference is less than 1l/100km.
Great engine and great gearbox (manual) |

9000km, mostly "urban highways" (60%), city with heavy traffic (30%) .
7.35 l/100km that is 33.6 mpg (US) and 37.76 mpg (Imperial). The info comes from precise calculation over km and liters filled in, the board computer is something like 5 to 8% more optimistic. |

Wonder how many miles Eco Pro will add to a tank. My wife's 1 series has it and whilst it makes the accelerator feel numb it adds about 20 miles to a tank of fuel. So 5% improvement roughly Anyone any experience yet of how Eco Pro feels on the X3??

Same effect as you mention, just dulls the accelerator action and makes the car feel really slow. I mainly just use it in conjuction with cruise control and the max speed it works up to is 75mph but I believe you can change this.
